Term 4 always includes a full calendar of events and activities, and this makes for an enjoyable time to be part of our school. With all the interruptions to regular class routine, I would like to commend students on the focus they are demonstrating towards their work to ensure they get the most out of the valuable learning time left this year. Early in the term, all students completed PAT (Progressive Assessment Testing) in Reading, Mathematics, Spelling and Grammar. We are looking forward to celebrating our student growth and also analysing where we need to improve our teaching practice in the future.
The Athletics Carnival was a successful day with encouraging participation and a strong sense of team spirit between Kentish, Roland and Don houses. This event is a great opportunity to come together as a whole school and it was wonderful to see so many parents, grandparents and family friends there supporting. Students are eagerly awaiting to find out who is the winning house! It is great to see those students who excel in athletics have an opportunity to showcase their talent. Thank you to our enthusiastic and dedicated HPE team for coordinating this event.
Our own Sheffield School Show is a unique event promoting livestock and the agricultural industry for young cattle enthusiasts. Students who participate in cattle handling have the opportunity to develop many useful life skills including organisational skills, time management, team work, public speaking skills and most importantly the students develop their confidence and self-esteem. Thank you to our show committee, sponsors and volunteers who assist in making this possible. This year we introduced a cooking competition to align with the traditional country show theme! There are two separate articles in the newsletter about the cooking competition and the cattle handlers, I encourage you to have a read.
The Kentish Lions Club have recently completed vision screening at our Railton campus. Eighty percent of all visual impairment can be prevented or cured and early detection through vision screening can help to identify those at risk for vision loss. Students undergo a number of vision tests and families receive a report explaining the results and suggested next steps if any issues require further investigation by health professionals. In 2024 ECE at our Sheffield campus will have the opportunity to undergo the vision screening. We are grateful for the support our local community provide us and the Kentish Lions assist us in many ways, most importantly they always provide a smiling face and encouragement for our students.

5/6 BASKETBALL TEAM
STUDENT ACHIEVEMENTS
TASSIE STATE CHAMPS
Dylan rode the 160km NSW state Championships starting at midnight. The weather was torrential with 55mm's of rain during the ride which made the track very slippery, and created a challenging course. Dylan rode 120km when the horse pulled up slightly lame and was not fit to continue. He had a great time and learnt a lot, this was a great experience for him. The ride was actually won by a Tasmanian rider who works for a stud in NSW, Sarah Parker so it was fantastic to see her so successful.
Dylan is currently preparing for the 160Km Tasmanian State Championships to be held at Sassafras on 17 November. He is helping train 7 horses in preparation for the event. We are anticipating that this track will have its own challenges as this time of year it is very concussive on the horses.
Dyan also won his great grandfather's memorial ride recently held at Gowrie Park, "Oss Foley Memorial". He was first over the line with his mother and Alexa Parker, a junior that trains with him. This is the third year in a row that Dyaln has won this 80km event which has the reputation to be the one of the hardest rides in the state.
He also won the Charles Radford Sporting Award from Rotary in Latrobe recently.

Athletics Carnival
The 2023 Sheffield School Athletics carnival was held on Wednesday 8 November. The weather gods were looking down on us and produced a day that was receptive to top quality athletics.
The Secondary section of the carnival was this year held on the Recreation ground. Mr Penney, Miss Baldock and our groundsman Mr Martin spent endless hours measuring and painting and produced a track worthy of top-class athletics.
The secondary boys did not let us down, with Kai, Connor, Jordy, Charlie, Eli and Zavier all presenting as excellent role models and displaying their best effort. Jack, Riley, Jacob and Stirling completed some scorching runs in Year 9 competition and gained good points for their respective houses.
The secondary girls were not to be outdone, Sophie eclipsed the field in the sprint races whilst it was pleasing to see most of this cohort taking to the start line and earn good points. Year 9 girls as a group displayed excellent participation and spirit throughout the whole day. Hollie, Amanda, Decoda and Isabella locked horns during many events and it was great to witness their competitive spirit.
The junior secondary section also produced some excellent competition in both the Year 7 and 8 categories as students began to master the skills of track and field.
The Early childhood students completed their first carnival on the newly devised track and it was great to hear the sound of laughter and excitement from this group as they competed throughout the day.
Primary students had loads of fun as they completed competitions in Hippo Hoppo, gum boot throwing, vortex and rocket throws and various races. The smiles on faces and laughter made it all worthwhile.
At the time of writing, points are still being amassed. Upon completion, we will be able to release the final points and also the year champions.
Special Mention
During the day, two students broke long standing Sheffield School records in both track and field events.
Congratulations to Jack for setting a new Year 9 boys Triple Jump record of 10.81m
Hudson also continued to show his class, setting a new time of 4.53 minutes for the Year 8 boys 1500m race.
Well done boys on an outstanding effort!

Cattle Handling Team
The Sheffield cattle handling team has had a busy start to the season attending Launceston, Sheffield and Scottsdale shows with Deloraine and Circular Head still to come. The students in the team have done a fantastic job representing the school and presenting their cattle at the various shows, with many coming away with successful results.
Scottsdale show was a particular highlight for our team as we travelled down on the school bus and stayed at the showgrounds for two nights with the show running on Friday and Saturday. This was a great opportunity for our team to come together with many laughs had along the way.
The cattle handling team is an important activity for our students that we are able to provide, and we thank everyone who has helped to make it possible this year.

Arbre - Huon Excursion
Our year 10 cohort recently had the opportunity to attend an excursion ran in conjunction with the Beacon Foundation, to Huon Aquaculture and Arbre Forest Industries.
Students were given an insight into the career options available at both companies, and were lucky to engage in hands on experiences and learn from experts in both fields. This trip inspired our students and gave them more insight into the career opportunities available to them.

Food Studies and Food Technology
Students have continued to develop their food production skills and respond to design briefs in the kitchen this term. One of the challenges for the Food Technology students, working collaboratively, was to produce a monte carlos biscuit, to compare with a purchased one. Most students thought the home-made recipe was tastier than the purchased one.
In Food Studies, students have been researching, selecting recipes, and producing dishes that could be used for celebrations. They are required to work within budgetary and time constraints, use digital technology and complete a folio. The students have been doing a wonderful job, photos of some of the dishes are below.

Year 9-10 Food Design
A representative from the Tasmanian Hospitality Association recently visited Sheffield School to present a Knife Skills workshop to the 9-10 Food Design class. Students were shown various cutting techniques, and given insight into the tricks and trades of the hospitality industry. Our students were then encouraged to practise the skills they had learnt, all showing enthusiasm and producing excellent results.

Devonport Country Club are in the fortunate position of being able to offer FREE junior girls’ golf scholarships.
We have obtained funding from The Australian Golf Foundation (AGF) to support six lucky teenage girls to pursue the sport of golf. No previous skill necessary.
Scholarships are open to girls aged 9 to 16. Girls new to golf may also be engaged in this program should they demonstrate a commitment to learning the sport. A willingness to learn a new skill.
“This is a terrific opportunity”, said Helen Plaister, DCC Scholarship coordinator.
“Not only will girls receive 24 coaching sessions with Alex Hamilton PGA Professional but also a one-year junior club membership that carries playing rights, to ensure girls can participate in club competitions and obtain a handicap”.
The Scholarship program is part of a national campaign to get more girls playing golf. Along with over 160 other golf facilities across Australia, DCC will be working closely with golf’s national body Golf Australia throughout 2024.
“All we ask is that applicants display a desire and willingness to learn and therefore improve golf skills, obtain a handicap, play in club competitions (or at least social play) and engage in any extra-curricular activity that fosters friendships between scholarship holders”.
A total of 6 scholarships will be available at DCCfor 2024.
